In this episode, I share my personal journey of overcoming emotional eating, shedding 80 pounds in my forties, and discovering a new sense of strength—both physical and emotional. What began as a battle with food and habits turned into a blueprint for helping other women reclaim their health in midlife and beyond.

We dive into the myths and truths about hormones, habits, and why resistance training—not just walks, yoga, or swimming—is the real game-changer for metabolism, bone density, and long-term vitality. I also open up about the addictive pull of sugar, the cycle of emotional eating, and the compassionate strategies that helped me break free.

This conversation is especially meaningful for women navigating perimenopause or post-menopause, reminding us that transformation is possible at any stage of life. Through THOR, I now dedicate my work to supporting women over 40 with coaching, retreats, and community—because your strongest, healthiest years can still be ahead.

👉 Tune in to hear practical tools, mindset shifts, and real talk about what it takes to feel at home in your body again.
